OPIS editors Anthony Lane and Humberto J. Rocha sat down for an interview with Astrid Schomaker, the 8th executive secretary for the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity. Appointed in April as the UN biodiversity chief, Schomaker will oversee COP16 in Cali, Colombia later this month.
She talked to OPIS about the relationship between business and nature as well as the progress made in implementing the Global Biodiversity Framework, which was signed at COP15 in Montreal in 2022. The GBF included the totemic ‘30x30’ pledge made by almost 200 countries to preserve 30% of their land and sea areas by 2030.

OPIS Biodiversity Market Report
Biodiversity Credit Market News, Analysis and Pricing
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework was adopted at COP15 in December 2022 with the goal of halting and reversing nature loss by 2030. Many companies are beginning to make nature-positive commitments and assess their impacts on biodiversity, and voluntary biodiversity credits provide metrics and units of accounting for those aiming to become nature positive.
The OPIS Biodiversity Market Report is the first of its kind, providing pricing for a raft of voluntary biodiversity credit projects. The weekly report features news and market reporting on national biodiversity markets, policies and new technologies, plus pricing for biodiversity credits.
